The absolute perfection with which honeybees construct their hexagonal comb cells has astonished human beings since ancient times. deep mystery is not why hexagons, but how such a perfect geometrical shape fabricated, without any portrait or tools. Do they possess divine intelligence? Recent studies shed light on this revered and show beyond doubt that it the thermo-mechanical properties of bee...

Knitty is an interactive design system for creating knitted animals. The user designs a 3D surface model using a sketching interface. The system automatically generates a knitting pattern and then visualizes the shape of the resulting 3D animal model by applying a simple physics simulation. The user can see the resulting shape before beginning the actual knitting. The system also provides a pro...

The effect of fabric parameters such as weight, thickness, and stitch density on the ultraviolet (UV) protection of knitted fabrics was studied. Different knitting structures such as plain, pineapple, lacoste, and other combinations of different knitting stitches of knit, tuck, and miss as well as half milano, full milano, half cardigan, full cardigan, 1 × 1 rib, and interlock were prepared. Ex...

Abstract We demonstrate the application of a two stage machine learning algorithm that enables one to correlate electrical signals from GaAs x N 1 − x circular polarimeter with inten...

Today's High-Speed Machining (HSM) machine tool combines productivity and part quality. The difficulty inherent in HSM operations lies in understanding the impact of machine tool behaviour on machining time and part quality. Analysis of some of the relevant ISO standards (230-1998, 10791-1998) and a complementary protocol for better understanding HSM technology are presented in the first part o...

In this paper we will present a system to use three dimensional computer graphics in garment design. This system is capable to visualize the “real”, i.e. the physically correct, appearance of a knitted fabric. A fast visualization of a physically correct micro-structure garment is of crucial importance in textile industry, since it enables fast and less expensive product development. This syste...

In his celebrated 1936 paper Turing de ned a machine to be circular i it performs an in nite computation outputting only nitely many symbols. We de ne as the probability that an arbitrary machine be circular and we prove that is a random number that goes beyond , the probability that a universal self delimiting machine halts. The algorithmic complexity of is strictly greater than that of , but ...
